Abstrakt: Centrifugal pumps are most commonly used pumping devices in industry their being fit for pumping water. There are several types of centrifugal pumps, their differences in construction is due to their size and how cloggy the pumped water is. In the paper it was simulated a 2D centrifugal pump of small size used in daily activities. The simulation, performed with CFD (ANSYS-Fluent), was made for different inlet velocities of water. Different parameters, such as inlet pressure, outlet pressure, maximum velocity and flow rate, were calculated and graphically represented against inlet velocity. Also, graphical representation of pressure distribution and velocity distribution inside the impeller were presented for a better comprehension of the physical phenomena. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
